Growing under kindness of caring parent is the dream of every child who is deprived of. I am really thankful to my mother Dr. Sima Samar and my father Abdul Raouf Naveed who are good parents to me. They helped me a lot and supported me to go to school to learn English

and basic computer’s programs. Without their continoues support I would never had these opportuni-ties and achievements. Similar to rest of children and youngsters, I have my own dreams and wishes for the future. I hope the day, to complete my higher education and help poor and needy people, as my father and mother did for me. It is the greatest wish of my life.

Future!

1. Foreword

Throughout 2013, Af-

ghanistan experi-

enced troubled days

with humanitarian activities

affected by lingering insta-

bility along with the an-

nouncement that the international community’s presence

would decrease as of 2014. Despite these difficulties,

Shuhada Organization (SO) successfully implemented

31 projects in various provinces. As in previous years,

the organization remained committed

to making a valuable contribution in the following areas:

Promoting human rights including women * rights, children rights and gender mainstreaming

Promoting democracy and strengthening governance *Promoting sustainable development *Capacity building of both SO and its civ- *

il society organizations (CSOs) partners Providing services in the health and education sectors *

Since Shuhada Organization’s foundation, a strong focus

on Human Rights has been central to the organization’s

activities. The organization has implemented a series

of 694 human rights, women rights, child rights and le-

gal aid long-term training courses with 1,334,691women

and girls benefiting. These projects have aimed to edu-

cate women about their rights and to directly assist

them in exercising these rights. During 2013, SO was

also involved in policy-making and policy/law pro-

motion in collaboration with its 23 non-governmental

organizations and social organization partners. SO

is an active member of a (Task Force) which works to

bring modification to NGO law and has developed a

manual on the Elimination Violence Against Women

(EVAW) law, based on Islamic principles (Holy Quran

and Hadith) highlighting that law is not against religion.

Shuhada Organization continued to operate three or-

phanages, supporting 168 boys and girls in Bamy-

an and Ghazni provinces. To enhance the qual-

ity of education, two libraries were established at

Chardeh and Karte Solh girls high schools for a number

of 1890 students and two English & Computer cours-

es were conducted for 76 school boys and girls.

One of the most successful areas of the Organization's

projects was the continuation of its sustainable liveli-

hood project and economic empowerment, which tar-

geted some of Afghanistan’s most vulnerable groups.

In continuation of SO’s 2012 project, ewes and chicken-

were distributed to 30 families at 2013 in Bamyan prov-

ince. SO continued its service delivery in the areas of

health and education In 2013, one district hospital and 7

clinics operated as did one co-educational high school

with 1531 students and 41teachers being supported.

As a member of Afghan civil society, we strive to promote

Shuhada Organization’s values of human rights and equal-

ity amongst wider organizational networks with the aim of

better serving the needs of the community and strength-

ening the rule of law and access to justice. As such dur-

ing 2013, Shuhada Organization partnered with different

national and international bodies such as Counterpart In-

ternational (CPI) { United States Agency for International

Development(USAID)}, Europen Instrument for Democracy

and Human Rights (EIDHR, Help Community Schaffhausen

(HCS), The Finish NGO Foundation for Human Rights

(KIOS), Commitee Arghosha Faraway School (CAFS),

KIBO, Mother for Peace (MFP) and Naiqala Association.

Finally, I am grateful to the donors that have made our

work possible and look forward to continuing our valua-

ble partnership in the future. Shuhada Organization con-

tinues its commitment to meeting the goals and visions

set forth in its Strategic Plan for 2013-2015. As always,

we are especially thankful to all stakeholders in the are-

as of humanitarian intervention for their support and trust.

6. Human/Woman Rights6.1 Learn, Speak And Spread – Empow-ering Women Through The Support Of Independent Media:

The overall objective of the action is to empower wom-

en and vulnerable groups and reinforce Human Rights

through independent media firms’ capacity enhance-

ment. In order to bolster the status of these marginal-

ized populations, the action will also enlist support from

men and established officials, who will have the task of

recognizing and diffusing these Human Rights agendas.

The project has successfully conducted its activities to

raise awareness between both men and women from

the targeted communities on women’s rights. Similarly,

SO’s capacity building workshops for media profession-

als specifically provided them with the much needed

skills to establish them as advocates for human rights in

general, and for women’s rights in particular. The over-

whelming number of both male and female participants

in SO’s media workshops as well as in the conferences

showed that the project managed to raise awareness

on women’s rights in a wide array of rural communities.

The project has successfully passed its first year by im-

plementing 42 ‘Learn and speak’, 12 ‘Write and Spread’

workshops, and three “Write, Speak and Spread” con-

ferences throughout Bamyan, Daikundi and Ghor prov-

inces. The above activities that we have organized in all

provinces had their own challenges as well as success

stories regarding social inflexibility, political instability

and cultural weakness. SO staff with their strong expe-

riences and good backgrounds among the communities

could manage them skillfully with no negative reaction.


6.2 Women’s Awareness Raising and Empowerment:

Violence against women requires a lot of efforts from dif-

ferent angles; to contribute on this issue, Shuhada Organ-

ization has launched a project under the title of Women’s

Awareness Raising and Empowerment for duration of 9

months in Bamyan province through which 329,737 indi-

viduals (man and women) received extensive awareness

on EVAW law. Within the project 192 training session

conducted on EVAW law, 1,000 posters and 5,000 bro-

chures disseminated, 420 radio messages of one-minute

and different dramas broadcasted at the community

level containing messages on human/women rights. The

project is supported by USAID (Counterpart International).

Violation of human and particularly women rights are

yet so rampant in the country. There was still a due

need to raise the awareness of public on human and

women rights. SO has launched a program on women

rights awareness, literacy and legal assistance pro-

gram which a number of 720 women and girls were re-

ceived extensive training on human/women rights and

basic literacy. Through the project legal assistance

and consultation provided to the victims of domes-

tic violence and other violations against women rights.

The project aimed to raise women rights awareness,

inspired women and girls’ participation in social work,

enabled women to apply their rights in the community

and gradually stand against violations, injustice and

gender discrimination. It is financially supported by Kios.

7. Capacity Building7.1 Capacity Building Seed Grant:

The CSOs in Bamyan and Daikundi were not able

to contribute smoothly and skillfully based on the

goal and objectives that they established basical-

ly. The main factor of this challenge was low level

of CSOs knowledge and skill on fundraising spe-

cially proposal development and report writing.

To address the two mentioned issues, SO launched

a project under the title of Strengthen the capacity of

SO in grants management and CSOs in project im-

plementation via “learning by doing” and addressing

the community needs in Bamyan and Daikundi prov-

inces, that was designed with the below objectives:a) To strengthen the capacity of SO in grants management through re-granting of 10 projects to 10 eligible CSOs in Bamyan and Daikundi provinces.b) To enhance the capacity of 10 CSOs in project planning and implementation skills via “learning by do-ing” activities through re-granting of 10 projects.c) To address community needs identified through the community dialogue sessions in the following pro-posed areas:i. To decrease in violation against child girls and pave the ground for easy access of this deprived seg-ment to education via re-granting of 5 awareness rising

6.3 Women Rights Awareness, Literacy and Legal Assistance Programs for Women and Girls in Panjab and Waras Districts of Bamyan Province

and advocacy projects on elimination of discrimination against child girls. ii. To contribute for improvement of the quality education through establishment of 5 library and 5 labo-ratory in ten different schools in Bamyan and Daikundi provinces.In accordance with the above mentioned objectives, eight following eligible CSOs amongst 23 I-PACS part-ners were selected by GTEC of SO and implemented the projects:1. Afghanistan Women and Children Partner (AWCP)2. Bamica Social Cultural and Agriculture As-sociation ( BSCAA)3. Bamyan Women Social Cultural Association ( BWCSA)


4. Daikundi Cultural Youth Association (DCYA)5. Daikundi Women Islamic Development and Coordination Council ( DWIDCC)6. East Vision Organization (EVO)7. Justice and Civil Society Support Organization (JCSSO)8. Tolo Daikundi Cultural Artistic Association (TDCCA)

The projects were contributed to enhance the capacity

of targeted CSOs in project planning, fundraising and

management via “learning by doing” activities through

re-granting of 8 projects on decreasing of violation

against child girls and improvement of quality education

in Bamyan and Daikundi provinces.

Moreover, 500,000 individuals provided with awareness

on child rights specially focus on discrimination of child

girls through awareness raising meetings, radio mas-

sages, dramas, theater, roundtable, posters and bro-

chures. In the same time advocacy for child girls fulfilled

through conducting of public meetings and publishing

articles in magazines and Newspapers with participa-

tion of at least 2,000 individuals and 4,000 readers.

Moreover, the quality of education improved through

establishment of 6 libraries and 1 laboratory.

7.2 Institutional Support Grant (Third Phase):Beneficiaries: 1400 individuals

Location: Bamyan and Daikundi provinces

The project started in May, 2011 and ended in November, 2013. It was contributing to enable Afghan citizens to partici-

pate effectively in political process, solving community problems, and to demand good governance from their leaders.

But, its third phase was specifically focused to Strengthen the internal capacity of SO and its target CSOs providing

various types of training, technical assistance, Organizational Development (OD), community and policy engagement

interventions.

See below, the main achievements of this phase:

The capacity of SO is enhanced through conducting of 8 consultancy and trainings includes, leadership and *management, financial sustainability and Public relation (PR) strategy, Learning and Set up of Quick Book Software,

HR management, Communication and PR, MIS and improving M&E System and policy, SPSS, and Risk Management.

The organization has moved to be more standardize and ensure its self-regulatory through development/revi- *sion of a number of manuals and policies and participation in OD assessment via which the organization received the

provisional certificate from CPI/USAID.

The capacity of 23 CSOs in Bamyan and Daikun- *di provinces were developed through conducting of 13

capacity building workshops, regular mentoring visits

and providing of technical assistances via two Resource

Centers in Bamyan and Daikundi provinces.

The residents of Nilli the center of Daikundi prov- *inces are enjoyed from new established Resource Center

8. Orphanage8.1 Jaghori and Bamyan’s Orphanages:

Three decades of war resulted in a high number of people

dying or missing. Many children lost their parents or were

separated from them. Other families lost their breadwin-

ners and as a result became dependent on other ex-

tended family members. Since the economic condition

of an average family in the region is very weak, these

additional children are often treated as household serv-

ants. Orphans are used extensively as free child labor

and remain in exploited economic situations throughout

their lives. The destitute families of these unfortunate

children are often unable, or in rare cases do not at-

tempt to provide any educational opportunities for them.

Orphans girls are in a particularly vulnerable position,

and are often forced to marry at early age whoever, their

family chooses for them (the choice often involves mon-

etary transactions). Considering this reality, Shuhada Or-

ganization has established 3 orphanages in Bamyan and

Ghazni provinces that house 186 girls and boys. The chil-

facilities that includes computers, internet and equipped

library while, the Resource Center in Bamyan city was

running as well as previous years with mentioned facili-

ties.

The issues of local communities and the way to *solve were identified and advocacy (follow up meetings)

with the related local governmental sectors were held

that had desirable outputs e.g. a teacher training center

in Shiber district of Bamyan province was established via

this process. Meanwhile, two provincial policy dialogues

(PPD) were conducted in Bamyan & Daikundi provinces

to discuss the issues in the level of the provinces and

engage the communities in policy making.

Two gender networking groups one in each *provinces of Bamyan and Daikundi were established.

19

dren are cared by nine widows who live within the facility.

Children in the orphanage attend public school throughout

the year. In addition, permanent teachers are recruited to

support the children with their school work and encourage

and direct them towards independent study fields such as

anthropology, theatre, literature, painting, cooking, knit-

ting, sports, and regular English and computer courses.

Children also conduct programs for poetry reading and

debate sessions through the local radio station. However,

SO helps to ensure that all orphans graduate from 12th

grade and participate in university entrance examina-

tion. From the mention above Numbers of the Orphans a

number of 20 boys and girls graduated from 12th class and

from which a number of 8 boys finished their first, second

and third year of their universities in different fields. This

way they will gain independence in their future lives. Sa-

mar’s orphans are attending English and computer cours-

es at the orphanages besides studying school subjects,

the boys are attending a football and health club as well.


9. Education9.1 Gawharshad institute of higher education:

Gawharshad Institute of Higher Education (GIHE) was founded in August 2010 and registered with the Ministry of

Higher Education of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to operate as a non-profit private university in Afghanistan. It

was founded by Dr. Sima Samar a prominent Human Rights activist.

See detail in the below table:

A number of 30 orphans from Samar and Tahe maskan

orphanages were sponsered by GIHE to study their de-

sired fields. GIHE has established a Women Empower-

ment Center, which organizes capacity building programs

for women and helps to sponsor women’s education.

The department has played a considerable role in ensur-

ing women’s participation in the academic life of GIHE.

8.2 Jaghori Girls Orphanage boundry wall:

SO has raised the boundary wall, provided and installed

stable gate and renovated water supply system of

Jaghoori girls orphanage. Now the girls feel free and

relax to move inside of the Orphanage campus and have

access to water in the bathroom and toilets. HCS finan-

cially supported this project.

11. Success Story11.1 Short History of my Life

I am Ameen, my last name is Naveed and I was born 15

years before in Shahfulladi village of Bamyan center. I

was not more than 4 years old child that, I lost my father

at Afghan civil war and afterward, me, my brother, my two

sisters and my mother were left without breadwinner or

guardian. I was the youngest child of my family and my

mother was working hard from dawn to dusk to provide

us food and she was having hard time of her life. When I

was five, I was climbing the harsh mountain of Shahful-

ladi to provide wood and dried bushes for the season of

winter to provide heat for the room to live in and cook

food. Clearly I remember, at that time while I was looking

my friends at the same age, they happily and full interest,

could go to school and I hoped to go to school and made

me literate and educated too.

The day which is counted as a fortune day in my life, was

the day that; I was introduced to the Samar Orphanage


and I was shifted in it. It is about six years that, I am living in Samar Orphanage and studying in ninth grade at school

and I am a good position holder in my class and now I belong to a great family from where I learned love, sincerity

and devotion. In the Samar Orphanage all educational facilities are available for me. With high stimulant, I am hopeful

to my life in here.

Growing under kindness of caring parent is the dream of every child who is deprived of. I am really thankful to my moth-

er Dr. Sima Samar and my father Abdul Raouf Naveed who are good parents to me. They helped me a lot and supported

me to go to school to learn English and basic computer’s programs. Without their continues support I would never had

these opportunities and achievements.

Similar to rest of children and youngsters, I have my own dreams and wishes for the future. I hope the day, to complete

my higher education and help poor and needy people, as my father and mother did for me. It is the greatest wish of my

life.

11.2 Community Problem Solving:

Shuhada Organization (SO) through Initiative to Promote

Afghan Civil Society has been trying to find the solution

for problems that are suffering people in the village/ dis-

trict or provincial level. Through conducting of CD ses-

sions the SO along with community members have identi-

fied priority needs which are existed within community.

Shuhada organization has conducted more than 80

community dialogue sessions in both Bamyan and

Daikundi provinces. Through these Sessions the com-

munity members discussed and indentified their main

problems such as violence against women, Girls limited

access to education, unemployment, low access to basic

health services, lack of professional teachers at school,

low access to educational facilities, poverty, forced and

early marriages, lack of electricity and so on.

In the series of the mentioned Sessions a community

dialogue was conducted in Jame Ali a village in Shibar

District, Bamyan province on 14/11/2012. Lack of Teach-

er Training institution was identified as a major problem

by the session participants.

To address the issue, a follow up meeting with participa-

tion of below personalities was organized in the Bamyan

Education Directorate on Monday Dec, 31, 2012.

1- Bamyan Education Directorate

2- Representative of the village

3- A femal representative of the community

4- SO CD officer

5- SO M&E officer

Ameen one of the Samar Orphanage’s child

The problem was explained by community representa-

tives also aspects and ways of solutions were discussed

with all members of the meeting. Finally the following de-

cisions were made:

1- The community prepared the list of at least 40

teachers to join into teacher training program

2- The Bamyan Education Office launched a teach-

er training program through establishment of a teacher

training institute by early month of March 2013.

3- The Bamyan Education Office hired females who

were graduated from high schools in two districts Waras

and Shibar as teacher, then they were able to attend in

teacher training institution.

The advocacy was successful, when the Teacher Train-

ing Institution was officially inaugurated in Shibar District

dated April 28, 2013.

Thus, SO assumed the below results:

- 40 female were benifited of their education rights

and the facilities of the Teacher Training Institution to en-

hance their capacity and learned teaching skills.

- A number of graduated female from high-schools

were hired as teachers and they were provided with op-

portunities that they could participate in the society and

were bread winner for their family that ensured their dig-

nity in the family and community level.

- The community members especially women

were encouraged to participate in social affairs and


were agent of changes.

- Running of the mentioned institute has con-

tributed to women liberation in the future of the Shiber

district.

- The quality of education in the mentioned dis-

trict has been improved.

11.3 Establishing Syndicate for Com-prehensive Advocacy:

The Shuhada Organization has conducted more than 80

community dialogues with the different segments of the

society such as CDCs, youth, religious leaders, community

members and university students both male and female to

raise the awareness of CD sessions’ participants on civil

society, importance of the citizen participation into the

process of decision making, civic rights, democracy and

to identify their priority needs as well as find the solutions

for their problems and finally the organizing of follow up

meeting with the governmental sectors are being imple-

menting through SO/I-PACS team to solve those problems

which are solve able into the district or provincial levels.

The representatives of Bamyan university students were

invited to participate into the two separate CD sessions

dated, 17-06-2012 and 14-10-2012. The participants

were presented their problems as below;

Not enough rooms in female dormitory and *shortage of potable water.

Lack of dormitory for the male students *Low capacities of teachers *Limited access to the new technologies, *

laboratory and library.

Existing of discriminations which are *implementing by university teachers

Not enough job opportunity when they are *graduating university.

Low services of transporation for the female *students

Their problems were discussed many times with related

offices and reflected in PPD but it seems that there is no

interest for solving of these issues.

Thus, through several meetings in this regard with the

university students they were agreed to establish students’

syndicate to create more coordination and collaboration

amongst university students for the aim of lunching com-

prehensive advocacy which was interested by the stu-

dents and they have organized a series of sessions and

meetings in this regard. Finally they were successfully

to establish this Syndicate with participation of 180 stu-

dents, and teachers, which has combined from three com-

mittee such as Admin and Financial Committee, Cultural

Committee and Communication Committee. This syndi-

cate will be leaded by a leadership council combined 10
